FT LAUDERDALE VISIT

Campsite in Ft Lauderdale is pretty disorganized and quite stressful. Gave us new site with wrong electric hook up so we asked for new one and this one was impossible to back into. After looking for part Mom decided we needed a drive through or leave. We got the new site and then the 40 ft rig wanted our site and was virtually on our site too and we had to rush to our new site. Very stressful... Needed some beers to... calm down and relax.

I spent most of the time in the truck waiting for all this to go bye bye

EVERGLADES VISIT

I visited the Everglades- a hot swampy place with many birds,alligators, panthers and snakes. I sniffed alot of strange things and it was hot and humid. I could not go on any trails but Mom took me along anyway and always parked in shaded area, gave me water and windows were open.

MY DAY IN THE OCEAN AT SOMBERO BEACH

I got to swim in the ocean with my mom and some fish. It really was cool and I enjoyed it. Very sandy and coral there was sharp on my feet. I also visited the Blue Hole and there was an alligator then so Mom immediately put me in the car. It was also a deer refuge and she was afraid I would get the scent and run with the deer. Mom then went to " No Name Pub" dor dinner and I stayed in the truck with windows open and water and food. Exciting day- I am a worn out boy now.

DUVAL STREET WAS HOT... AND CROWDED

Mom and Donna toook me on Duval Street but I was good. Very hot and lots of distractions- other dogs, bicycles,motorcycles, mimi cars, scooters and wierd sounds like blenders, people talking and yelling etc. We alos walked on a pier and ate Haagan daas ice cream. I ate with them at Schooners Wharf... there the pidgeons were a distraction to me. But I tried to be good.

IN THE KEYS,FLORIDA

I like this campsite- shade and trees. Some family is here and their little boy wants to play with me. I would rather not. Mom will have to watch and make sure the little guy bikes and plays with his brother and parents and not me. Went to Curry Hammock State park which is real close and has kayaks to rent and beautiful area- well kept and clean area.

VISITED MIAMI AREA

I was going to Miami Ink today to get a tattoo but no dogs allowed. I am tired of not being allowed to do things. Found a beach where I could walk in the soft sand and see the beautiful ocean and people having fun para-sailing and playing in the ocean. I am dog tired and going to bed- had enough excitement for one day.

MOM'S FRIEND FROM PA

A visitor from PA came to explore Florida with us. We went to some beaches yesterday and then Mom and Donna ate at a fancy seafood restaurant and I slept in the cool shaded car. The parking guy made sure I was OK and gave me a biscuit. He was a nice guy. Today we are going to Miami and explore the area. it is cool and breezy right now. We all slept good in the rv- I shared my space.

VERY HOT AND NO SHADE

I almost passed out -so hot. I ate grass so I got sick of course. Mom forced me to go in rv for rest and cool air. I am feeling better. Mom also needed a rest from the heat. Drove Alligator alley but no alligator sightings. Almost ran out of gas but finally found a place- that GPS is a life saver for us. All checked in at rv site and set up. Ft Lauderdale is a hot place. Will go out later.

This campground is not as friendly as the others. No-one says hi to me or mom. All I see are small yippy french poodles and puffy dogs. Airplanes are going over all the time. No good eating places around here or any grocery stores - just office buildings.

LAST DAY in FT MYERS

It was so hot today- I crawled under the rv for shade and to lay in cool sand. Mom took me to a off the leash beach but it smelled like a swamp. Some dogs were misbehaving and fighting and mom decided I didn't need all that excitement. I got sand all over mom's truck. We got caught in a traffic jam and it was boring. Here are some shots of campground... etc.

RESTED ALL DAY

I didn't do much today- just chillin in my crib. Mom got a grill to cook hamburgers and hot dogs on so I think I will have some good meals soon. Dry food gets boring. I am checking out the neighbors tonight but being friendly in the process- not barking at them just staring. I had a tick near my eye today - mom tried to wipe it away but she had to grab and pull it off. I have 3 collars on now and look really bad.... my regular collar, my prong collar and my shock collar. People are scared just looking at me
